I've got a question game for us.
What's the most "scrabble" valuable word we can come up with which properly summarises Christians!

Evolution has secured a place of respect and trust in my mind as a scientific theory with notable factual evidence, but being theory does not make it fact. And this is in regards of the scientific definition and qualifications necessary for a "theory", not the commonplace connotations of the word "theory" often tossed around as "It's JUST a theory". "It's the best explaination we've got at the moment" means just that to me, nothing more.

It appears I did not address that, despite being a notable part of the first discussion. Here's hoping I didn't leave anything else important out.

It's a theory that explains a fact.

But welcome back.

Can we just go ahead & start calling it the Law of Evolution? I don't see any soft-headed people trying to deny gravity & we know less about it than evolution.

This bothered my ear too. Theories account for facts. Evolution accounts for a bushel of facts far better than any alternative theory. To my mind a fact is something you could record as an observation. It has nothing to do with my confidence in the theory. I am totally down with evolution.
